Abstract:
... Landslides are still wreaking havoc in many parts of the world. Several previous landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM) studies have proven that fuzzy logic methods provide reliable models for effective risk analysis and management. Various fuzzy operators are available for LSM. Globally, few studies conducted over a decade ago tested and compared the performances of several fuzzy operators in LSM ...
... The objective of this paper is to develop an optimal scheduling scheme for an Energy Storage System (ESS), in a grid-connected microgrid, which is used for two main energy services, namely Operating Cost Minimization Service (OCMS) and Contracted Service (CS). OCMS refers to minimizing the overall operating cost of the microgrid. CS is a specified balancing service for the grid operator in UK to m ...
... Understanding hydraulic transients in real sanitation systems is extremely important, especially when developing expansion and/or adequacy projects in facilities that operate in a transitory regime. The aim of this study is to propose a discharge coefficient (Cd) interpolation model to calibrate hydraulic transients in a pipeline operating in a non-permanent regime (transitory). The proposed metho ...
... Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) is the decentralized wireless network that can enable to communicate without having end-to-end connectivity between nodes using store-carry-forward technique. We cannot use traditional routing techniques in DTN since it requires end-to-end connectivity between nodes. Earlier, authors have proposed many techniques for relay selection but haven’t ensure the storage capab ...
... The present study evaluates the extraction process parameters of grape peel oil using non-linear hybrid Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) model. The experiments were conducted at temperature (80–100 °C), and time (5–9 h) at 5 levels with output parameter as oil yield. The experimental result and factor interaction analysis shows that temperature had the most significant effect on the o ...

Abstract:
... Moving towards a Circular Economy (CE) requires systemic changes across organizations, technological and cultural changes. However, there is a lack of studies in the literature on guidelines and tools specifically focused on helping organizations to identify the aspects that could be improved to implement a CE-oriented culture. Thus, this paper aims to propose a fuzzy logic-based approach to asses ...

Abstract:
... Membrane fouling is one of major obstacles in the application of membrane technologies. Accurately predicting or simulating membrane fouling behaviours is of great significance to elucidate the fouling mechanisms and develop effective measures to control fouling. Although mechanistic/mathematical models have been widely used for predicting membrane fouling, they still suffer from low accuracy and ...

Abstract:
... One of the most important considerations in urban environments is the extraction of urban objects, with a high automation level. This study aims to present a new method which uses aerial images and LiDAR data to extract buildings and trees footprint in urban areas. In this study, high-elevation objects were extracted from the LiDAR data using the developed scan labeling method, and then the classi ...

Abstract:
... To achieve the optimal energy allocation for the auxiliary power unit (APU) and battery of a range-extended electric vehicle, a novel hybrid-point-line energy management strategy (H–P-LEMS) has been proposed from a multi-scale view. First, a multi-objective optimization (MOO) model is established which takes into account energy consumption, emissions and battery life. The barebones multi-objective ...

However, due to the dynamic behavior of uncertain and random variables, the coordination and control of MAS are still challenging to attain resilience and dynamicity. Traditional trust systems, which rely on access contr ...
